THE WAITING GAME

So now I am 38 weeks pregnant. I pretty much have everything ready for Caleb to enter the world. Lets be honest, you can only be so ready. I would love it, that when my water breaks our place is spotless and the refrigerator is stocked. But that is hard to do when it takes me an hour to clean up something that would normally take me 15 minutes. And don't even get me started at how vacuuming wears me out.

Right now I am just playing the waiting game. The last three visits he has shown no sign of coming. But even tho physically and mentally I am worn out I don't like the idea of getting induced. I was actually shocked that my doctor had me set a date just in case he is late so quickly. Her explanation was that the induction schedule was full the next couple of weeks, but my husband was just saying the night before that doctors do that at their convenience. So I set a day anyway for 2 days after his due date, Jan 26.  Most likely I am going to cancel it and let him come when he is ready. I just would feel guilty if he needed a little more development and I rushed him out just because I am EXHAUSTED! But we shall see. I have a friend who worked the whole time she was pregnant, literally until her water broke. I take my hat off to all of the millions of woman who are strong enough to do that!

He has two more weeks until he is late. So until the Lord says it's time, I shall wait.
Can't wait to meet my little man.
